All radios have at least 2 and up to 16 TX/RX channels and have clocking subsystems designed to support high performance phase coherent communications and sensor applications. New Ipsolon SDRs have integrated RF Front Ends covering 0 to 18 GHz, advanced multimodule coherency and GPS disciplined clock reference. There are also SDR companion modules to support 10 to 25G optical links for massive IQ streaming capability.
Cerberus
Cerberus offers big functionality in a small footprint. Packed with features but slim in size and weight, the Cerberus SDR is made for movement on the land and in the air. Cerberus offers flexibility in use and stability in service. Our mechanical engineering team will share design files with you to ensure end-to-end compatibility and a prototype turnaround time of weeks, not months.
